Gulp.
Be aware that the 5870 is set as reference card, so those are not FPSs in the graph below, but differences in %.


Oh boy when it's Friday? Are we there yet?

SKYMTL,
Can you re-iterate if you'll have the chance to test the GTX470 also, or just the flagship 480?

Yesterday,

NCIX ADMIN was telling one OP (interested in buying a HD5870) to grab whatever HD5870 available RIGHT NOW (whatever brand) or he might be out of luck for a few months. Of course they're selling hardware for a living so they tell people to buy, nothing wrong with that. But we can also "speculate" on what's behind this. (no price drops whatsoever???)

We know that FERMI is coming in fast, but hopefully the rumors of "good quantities" are true, or there MIGHT be a shortage of "options" in the high-end market? What's you take on that?

Is the 26th the global day that the NDA lifts or did nVidia set March 26th of 2010 @ x Eastern time? (i.e. those in areas ahead of us by 12 hours could be posting them Thursday afternoon?)

Looks like that silver grill we looked at earlier last week is indeed a grill for dissipating heat....

WC will not be an option

what is that BS... where are the titles that really interest US , no spec, no resolution , nothing, this is not serious , so we are just left with the suspicious Crysis graph and this one... the only thing we can say until now is the Fermi have a hell of cooler

Thats what I thought it was...I didn't think it was a sticker or plastic for aesthetics, but for dissipating heat...but I used the wrong word, as I never meant something with holes but thats my bad. But it really was what I thought it looked like earlier...metal with ridges I guess is the better word.

No biggie but fun to speculate!

one thing is sure It's insane this cooling, the manufacturer will have to find solution, noise is pollution. the European will not like it for sure, they was complaining about the consummation and the noise of the HD 4890.
